I have an indirect wildcard autofs mount on home but would like a few local folders to remain in there. Thus I moved those local folders elsewhere and created a bind mount. As a backup, incase autofs dies, I created a symbolic link in /home to the folder as well.
This seems to work fine, however, before I push this configuration to the rest of the systems on my network, I’d like to know if there are any potential issues/drawbacks to doing this. Is this opaque to software accessing the /home paths? Or can this cause problems?
A workaround would be to leave the local folders there and manually have autofs do direct mounts for all the other home folders but it creates more work when adding/deleting accounts.
